These Are My Children

In times of troubleWhen all the worl seems, oh, so dark,and I can't find a way to cope,When deep inside meI can no longer feel the spark,And I can see no ray of hopewhen I am lost,What makes it all worthwhile,One simple thoughtTo make me smile

These are my children,My saving grace,I see my calling in every face,These are my children, my family tree,and I thank God for choosing me

I wasn't blessedAs other women in this lifeto have my own, to be mother and wife,But i was blessedBeyond where wildest dreams can reach,for I have the privilegeYes, the privilege to teach,

These are my children,My saving grace,I see my calling in each and every face,These are my children, my family treeAnd I thank God,I thank GodYes, I thank GodFor choosin' me,For choosin' me,These are my children
